Richard Prince - "Publicities"

Publisher: Hydra Workshops - Greece

Hardcover

Pages: 16

A collection of works from his 1999 exhibition in Greece on pop-culture and the use of printed public images to influence the growth of ephemeral value these images continue to hold.

"These 'Publicities' extend from a body of work first begun in the late 70's. The artist was then employed as a press cuttings collator in a publishing firm. - Prince curated groups of still lives, images of lighters, watches, or even deluxe sofas. By abstracting these objects of desire from the context of magazines and collating them into his own precise cultural anthropology he effectively created space for questioning the very operation of desire and aspiration." - Forward Harriet Quick

Featuring Images from Films such as "Easy Rider", "Goodfellas", "Pulp Fiction", "Clock Work Orange", "Mad Max", and "The Matrix". Also including prints of photography from the assassination of JFK.
